Reviews

  • Canon EOS 7D

    Canon has created a proficient prosumer digital SLR with the 7D, sporting excellent specifications and performance such as burst shooting speed and HD movie recording.

  • Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 G

    The Sony 70-200mm lens is an excellent telephoto zoom choice for Alpha cameras, providing you've got deep pockets and strong, strong arms.

  • Canon EOS 1D Mark IV

    The big daddy of digital SLR cameras has arrived — ladies and gentlemen, start your engines.

  • Sony Alpha A850

    Sony's A850 is a full frame sensor digital SLR which is set to go head-to-head with Canon's 5D Mark II and Nikon's D700. With 24.6 megapixels inside and in-body image stabilisation it's certainly not a shrinking violet, either.

  • Olympus E-450

    Olympus has announced yet another camera to contend for the title of the world's smallest dSLR. It's not much of an evolution from the E-420, but has a couple of extra features that have trickled down from its older siblings.

  • Pentax K-m

    We like the K-m and the image quality it offers, but having to fumble over the inconsistent metering and white balance can be an issue for users not familiar with manual exposure controls.

  • Pentax K7

    The K7 is a digital SLR from Pentax which features HD movie recording, as well as a 14.2 megapixel sensor and is weather, dust and freeze resistant.

  • Canon EOS 500D

    The 500D is a very capable camera that is ideal for someone entering the world of digital SLRs. The inclusion of high-definition video adds even more appeal to the already good-looking package.
